This avoids the building of lirc_gpio and lirc_parallel.

Since SMP-Kernels are usual today, lirc_parallel would break the build.

see lirc_parallel.c:
#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
#error "--- Sorry, this driver is not SMP safe. ---"
#endif

lirc_gpio uses 2 functions, not exported by the kernel shipped with Slackware 12.2.
These were: bttv_get_cardinfo and bttv_get_gpio_queue
